  So what you suggest is passing arm-linux-gnu NOT armvX-linux-gnu,
right? I thought <arm arch you want> can be armvX-linux-gnu,
that confuse me.

It can be whatever you want, I'd suggest something that has some support in
the backend :)

Hi,

My patch, sent a few months back was meant to make this easier to update. Eric
has discussed it internally in Apple I believe and has some ideas how the driver
can be improved, but I haven't heard back further about a schedule for
providing such a patch.

Eric - I'd be happy to engineer said patch if you have some sort of spec or
guidelines on what you'd prefer done?

陳韋任:
While armv7l is not recognised, it is equivalent to "armv7", which
should work. The "l" just means little endian which is default for ARM
targets.

Eric has discussed it internally in Apple I believe and has some ideas how the
driver can be improved, but I haven't heard back further about a schedule

I thought I sent a bunch of it, but we can easily take it to private email to
work out more of it. I'm adding Chad to this since he's been doing a lot
of toolchain stuff as well. :)

To respond here I've sent this privately since we had the rest of the
discussion on the list a while back :)
